Cobra took full responsibility for leaving the game. Probably she made a really individual decision, and it seems that she realizes in retrospect that it was a bad decision. I do not claim that this scenario was discussed in advance. But if this had already happened, zeezee88 could have decided to leave his next game on purpose, he could have even discussed this with the game participants in advance, in order to renounce the unethically acquired advantage. Or he could have used his other account to try to reach 500 points. If I were in his place, I would certainly have done this, I would not have accepted the unsolicited help, because with that he also became ’guilty’. Instead, he removed from his friends those who had ethical doubts about achieving the 500 result, 'rewarded' them with a red thumb, removed their unwanted comments several times. And as I mentioned earlier, cobra reacted to my first doubts expressed in the private chat by suspending further play with me. For these reasons and mainly because of censorship, it was necessary to make the case public in the form of a forum post, so that everyone can have their say, there was no other option.
@Lenko, discussing accounts is really not part of this topic, many people have multiple accounts. What do you think about the fact that instead of apologizing, the 'guilty' sanction others?
It is welcome that the apology has already been made at least on the part of cobra.
I never intended to dignify this nonsensical forum topic with a reply but since you made a baseless and false accusation which directly impugned on my integrity, you leave me with no choice but to step forth to say my piece.
I have never intentionally quit a losing game, nor have I ever asked my partner to quit a losing game to save some meaningless ELO points. During that fateful game when my partner told me she was feeling stressed, overwhelmed and wanted to quit, I pleaded with her not to. I told her we will lose together and come back together.
Sorry to disappoint you if you are expecting an apology from me as I am not in the habit of apologizing for something that I am not, in your own word ‘guilty’ of. The fact that you qualified the word guilty with inverted commas, already shows that you are making a baseless defamatory statement about me.
Regarding your ludicrous suggestion that I should ‘renounce the unethically acquired advantage’ and quit the next game on purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, I did not get any additional ELO points. Second and most importantly, the basis of your suggestion that it was an unethically acquired advantage is untenable as I did not do anything unethical in relation to my partner quitting the game.
Yalsen, you call yourself a friend to me, but you failed to check in with me and perform any due diligence before you made that derogatory post about Cobra and me on my wall. This is clearly not what friends do to one another and hence with a heavy heart, I removed you as my friend.
Regarding your response to Lenko, you are missing the point. The problem does not lie with having multiple accounts, the unconscionable thing is to use multiple accounts to harass and cyberbully, which is what Z0rtea/ deejinlondon/ Ranier/ FagAshLil/ ACSteele1835 is doing. Please don’t trivalise the very real issue of cyberbulling as it is a crime in many countries.
To the wider Tichu community who may read this, please don’t waste your time on this farce anymore as time is a scarce commodity. Please continue to enjoy the game and continue to hone our Tichu skills.
